Bold Blazer | Outfit

Hello! On a trip to Lakeside for some back to school shopping, I spotted a little beauty in Primark. I don't find that Primark always has much to offer me, but every once in a while I find something I really love. The best part is that because it's Primark it isn't always horribly expensive and for something that I will get a lot of wear out of both inside and out of school I got a pretty good deal.


Blazer/Jacket - Primark, £17

Yes, just £17! It's made from quite a thick and good quality material which has meant it has been a little bit too hot since I've gone back to school to actually wear. However, I do plan to pair this with some black suit trousers, a skirt or a dress just to add a bit of something. I can also wear this out to dinner or to other such occasions outside of school just to make myself look a bit more smart. I love that there are two different patterns that sort of clash but pair together well at the same time! I picked mine up in a size 12 as it's meant to be cropped and I wanted it to be a bit longer and have room on the arms so that I would be able to put a jumper under it when it starts to get a bit more chilly. It still fits me well though so I didn't have to compromise length for the fit of it!

SCALLOPED MONOCHROME

Hello! Recently school and clothes have been on my mind. In sixth form at my school we have to wear suits and this year they're letting us wear unmatching suits so with that in mind I purchased a pair of trousers I am in love with to go with my black blazer. Also, for someone who wears a lot of white, I feel I don't quite have enough white tops and for some reason continue to buy more. I love a good white top though!

I did mention these trousers in my last Wishlist and I snatched them up to match with a black blazer, a white top and some black boots or flats for school in September (sigh!) I have nothing scalloped?! I love the simple detail of scalloped tops but have never bought one. I'm so glad this doesn't come up cropped on me because everything at the moment seems to be cropped? It's alright to own crop tops, but sometimes I just want a normal length top! I have to wear a cami top under this as it is a bit see through, although it could be tackled with a skin colour bra. New Look do a similar style that isn't see through, but it's the kind of material that makes me sweat before I'm even out the door so I avoided that one! This outfit is very sadly the only thing that makes me look forward to going back to school! 

Do you have uniform rules similar to mine? What do you wear to school?
